I guess yes. They might implement a non swimmers basin for the windows people and a sharks only basin for the rest of us.
what is a non swimmers basin ?
Hi Carl,
in germany our public swimming pools have pools for swimmers and pools for people who cannot swim. If swimmers accidently fall into the the non swimmers and get drowned by all those non swimmers permanently plunging onto them, its their problem and not a fault of the people running the pool :)
The shark basin and the non swimmers basin are very much used in popular language here - but maybe my translation is horrible.
thanks. I kinda figured it was something like that, but it was just a bit too unfamiliar, and around here (US) they just have 2 sides of the pool, know as "the shallow end" and "the deep end". Carl K
